my best friend's name is loneliness

By Katharina Stertz

a poetry collection, explaining projection, being scared of emptiness, it's about the fear of not feeling valuable, obsession with fame, with making art to leave something behind, living forever in your art, wanting to be someone special while struggling to find a place to fit in, it's about hungers you can't satisfy, it's about the deep wish of being understood and yet wanting to be better than everyone else, it's about suppressing emotions, work to distract from feeling too much, distract from feeling nothing, posting as a proof that you exist, being terrified of closeness while wanting to be close to someone, it's about unavailability, talking to the void, being scared of what is left if you removed all the things that once defined you and all the things you made, realising that loneliness is everything that stays.
